The Chinese People’s Armed Police (PAP) and Public Security Bureau (PSB) forces arrested over a hundred monks from Ngaba Kirti Monastery, in Ngaba County (Ch: Aba Xian), Ngaba TAP, Sichuan Province, during a raid of the monastery this afternoon. Several hundred PAP and PSB forces arrived at Ngaba Kirti Monastery in the morning, dispersing people, devotees, and visitors gathered around the monastery compound. They also ordered surrounding shops to shut down.
At first the PAP and PSB forces barred the monks from venturing out of their rooms, which was followed by a sudden raid of every monk’s room. The troops ransacked any portraits of the Dalai Lama and looked for any incriminating documents. After the raid, around 5:00pm (Beijing Standard Time), at least a hundred monks were forcibly taken away by the armed forces to Ngaba County PSB Detention Centre. The current atmosphere inside the Kirti Monastery is known to be very tense and volatile.
According to TCHRD’s latest information, sandbag barricades were erected by PAP forces around Kirti Monastery and the surrounding area to curb the fresh outbreak of protest by the local residents of Ngaba County.

a snipet taken from the bbc says Tibet’s hardline Chinese Communist Party boss, Zhang Qingli was telling state media
“We are now engaged in a fierce blood-and-fire battle with the Dalai clique, a life-and-death battle between us and the enemy,”
i suggest that China might tone down its rhetoric as the whole world is listening to this rubbish. more likely their action will be viewed as being overly influenced by 60’s communist hardliners who have no sympathy for the needs of its people.
I pray for liberation of the chinese and tibetan people from their oppressive government.
